The Great College of Armagh.

Armagh, which is still the primatial
see Of Ireland, both in the Catholic and
Protestant Churches, was built by St..
Patrick in AS. Among the other religi-
GUS edifices for which the city Of Armagh
became famed throughout Christendom
the most distinguished was the Monas-
terry of st. Peter and st. Paul, founded
by st. Patrick himself, and rebuilt by
Imar O'Hoedegan. This institution I. :
ceived numerous endowments from the
native kings, the last monarch OF Ire,
land, Roderick O'Connor, making lib
eral grant to its professors in 1859. At

famous seminaries in Europe, and from
which learned men, not Irish alone, but
from all parts of the Christian world,

through Europe. At one period ~

gated in it in the pursuit of learning.

/" The Warden of Galway q

A tragedy entitled ''The Oath of Of
fice'' in which the principal character is
the Warden of Galway, has been occa-
sionally acted, but not of late years. Its
author was named Concannon. The
title of the play explains the historical
incident upon which it was founded.
James Fitz-Stephen, an opulent merch-
ant, was mayor of Galway. He was a
man of singular rectitude and frmness
of purpose, and his sterh sense OF JUS
tice proved equal to most terrible test.
His son having murdered young Span
ish noble, then on visit with him, in
fit of jealousy, he, notwithstanding the
intercession of the most powerful chiefs
of the time, his own love for him, his
only child, and the distraction Of his
mother, and the young lady who hao
caused all by her disdainiug to reply to
his jealous accusations, not only passed
sentence of death upon his sou, but
with his own hand launched him into
eternity, as no man in Galway could be-
found to execute the sentence.

The Capture of Hugh O'Donnell.

In 1887 O'Donnell, Prince Of Trycon-
nell, repudiated allegiance to England,
babe defiance to her troops, and refused
to admit any Sheriff into his district.
The Privy Council at Dublin, not caring
to cross steel with the fiery Ulster clans
men, adopted the advice of Sir John
Perrot, the Lord Deputy, and set to
work to entrap by trickery either
O'Donnell or his son. The object was
accomplished in the most simple manner
by sending ship freighted with Span
ish wines to Donegal, where its captain
with apparently lavish hospitality in
yited all who would to become his
guests and taste his choice vintages.
Young O'Donnell and two of his COM
panions, never dreaming that the good
natured captain of the supposed Spanish
galleon was an English officer in dis
guise, accepted his invitation, went Oh
board his vessel, and were kidnapped
and borne off to Dublin as hostages for
the chief of Tryconnell. ODonnell re-
NAMED prisoner in Dublin Castle for
many months, but during tho festivities
Of one Christmas morning effected his
escape and returned to Donegal. where
he was invested with the chieftaincy Of
Tyrone, and became bitter and danger
